Incapacity Benefits to be abolished

cli of moneyClaimants on incapacity benefits are to be tested under the tougher Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)

People on Incapacity Benefit, Severe Disablement Allowance and incapacity related Income Support will have to undergo the ESA test. If they pass the test they will go onto ESA. If they fail it, they will have to claim Jobseekers Allowance, find work or have another reason for remaining on Income Support like being a carer.

The government says it will reassess a few cases in October this year. The reassessment of all cases starts in February 2011 with the process to complete by 2014 or later.
